side and the poor resources, but i think the most important thing we need to remember is that in every city, we are all facing these issues where our crime rates are increasing, our homicides are increasing, and public safety should be the number 1 priority for all cities, including one of the cities that is right here in the bay area, the city of san jose. in 2006, we used to be the safest big city in america. >> certainly not the case any longer. to call in these federal agents. a lot of people are concerned about this. a lot of people who are here legally, are afraid they will be targeted id space agency and what do say to that? >> i know that the chief of police has made a public comment that their specific duty is going to be handling the gang activities in the city of san jose. we know that all those 22 crimes that have happened, homicides,
